The 2018 HVD Semillon is slightly darker in the glass than the 2023 side by side, but not appreciably so. It's slow to evolve. 2018 was a very early, warm vintage. Early in the Hunter is quite early: the fruit for this 2018 HVD Semillon was picked on January 11. The HVD vineyard is usually picked after Chardonnay and before the Belford vineyard. This is rich, textural and toasty, and the flavors feel as if they blanket the tongue. It's a rich, dry wine, with a wide texture and long drive. 12.2% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Founded in 1858 by English immigrant Edward Tyrrell, Tyrrell's Wines is one of Australia's most famous family-owned wineries. The family's vineyards stretch from its historic home in the Hunter Valley near Sydney to the Limestone Coast and Heathcote. Run by fourth-generation family member Bruce Tyrrell, the winery produces some of Australia's most awarded wines, including the iconic "Vat 1 Semillon." The Hunter Valley's sandy, alluvial soil is ideal for white grape growing. There are 11 vineyards in the region that are more than 100 years old, 7 of which belong to the Tyrrell family. Tyrrell's is one of the founding members of Australia's First Families of Wine. Since 1971, Tyrrell's has won more than 5,000 trophies and medals, and was named Winery of the Year by James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion in 2010.

Aging and Drinking Period
Tyrrell's Wines are known for their excellent balance between freshness and complexity, making them enjoyable both young and aged. In particular, the "Semillon" wines have a significant potential to age and develop over time. The "Shiraz" wines can also be aged, but their optimal drinking period depends on the specific vintage and style.
